Thanks! I've been wanting to do a comparison post for quite some time. I'll have a follow up when my Dobbs FIFTEEN arrives. That will be compared to my Saks Fifth Ave 15/20 clone. The Saks hats were made for them in the Dobbs factory. Same color, and from the looks of it, same ribbon bow. I...
Do you mean the Cavanagh? Just re-measured at 2". I use an iPhone, so the wide angle lens probably has something to do with the appearance of the close up shots.

David (aka DJH) has inspired me to write a comparison between two of my [eight] favorite hats. Actually, these two hats have not been compared by similarities, but mainly by contrast. These contrasts don't mean that I feel one hat is better than the other; each hat has a special place on my...
I think I finally have enough hats to consider them a collection. Here's mine (so far)...
TOP ROW (left to right):
Saks Fifth Ave. - Dobbs 15/20 clone
Cavanagh - model unknown, late '30s
Falcon Park Hattery - The Cadence
BOTTOM ROW (left to right):
Cavanagh - Milan

I agree. I bought a Dobbs hat thinking it was 7 3/8 (I'm 7 1/4), based on the crown opening dimensions. It turned out to be 7 1/8. A little more risk involved on Etsy, but there are deals to be had. Oh well. I am waiting, however, on a Dobbs FIFTEEN that was titled "wool hat". Size seems...
